Question
Hi Jerome
This world is very,very old. Millions of years old.
GOD had made it all I do believe and JESUS is HE'S only son.
My Questions Please:
1.What made JESUS appear at the time that HE did ?
2.GOD made Adam & Eve long before HE made the world but why did that happen so many year after GOD made the world.
All those millions of year has gone by and GOD decide to make man. I just don't understand, but yet I do believe in JESUS and GOD the Father.
THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS YOU
RAY
As to the first, one of the best discussions on this point will be found in Dante Alighieri's (De Monarchia" (I.16), which is well worth reading. As to the second, one factor would apparently be the hierarchical nature of creation, which is reflected in the Genesis account.
